t Tuomey, our “I Care” sloganrepresents not only our core values – Integrity, Compassion, Accountability, Respect and Excellence – but an attitude: that our jobs as caretakers are not about punching a clock, but instead about a deep commitment to service in a respectful and comfortable environment. We strive to make the experience of our patients nothing but positive and stress-free. In a field of many great hospitals, Tuomey is consistently raising the bar on quality.
In this issue of LifeTimes, we are happy to highlight some of the people and programs that make Tuomey remarkable. Far from doing the bare minimum, Tuomey earned outstanding scores (including a flawless report in Food and Nutrition) in both the Joint Commission accreditation inspection and the general licensing survey. In an unannounced DHEC inspection, Tuomey received an unprecedented perfect report. We are so proud to be recognized for the excellence of our staff and facilities, and we would like to thank each and every Tuomey team member for these outstanding results.
But of course, running a hospital is not just about passing our tests and inspections with flying colors, but about meeting the needs of our patients. You’ll read about Tuomey Hospice, a program unique for its ability to offer personalized, compassionate care to patients and caregivers alike. You’ll also find an article about Tuomey Rehabilitation Services, a program that pairs the most state-of-the-art equipment with devoted and experienced physical therapists.
In other news, we are thrilled to announce that Jeff Faw has been named Executive Director of the Tuomey Foundation. The Tuomey Foundation is our philanthropic branch; its work supports important causes both inside and outside our hospital walls. Under Jeff’s skilled guidance, the Foundation hopes to expand the charitable efforts that support our community. We have the utmost respect for Jeff and are so pleased to have him leading this prestigious group.
It’s obvious that Tuomey is an exceptional facility, but it’s our people that make all the difference. The hard work and dedication of our staff consistently demonstrate our commitment to building the very best patient experience for you and your family.

wheTheryou’re A weekend wArrior, a high school
or college athlete, or just picking up a tennis
racquet on Tuesday nights, Tuomey Rehab
Services is there when you need it. Rehab
Manager Jerry Shadbolt and his team of
experts can handle almost any situation that
comes their way.
A graduate of Indiana University, Shadbolt
received his Bachelor of Science degree in
physical education and athletic training in
1993, and a master’s degree in counseling and
guidance services in 1995 from Clemson.
Shadbolt, who joined Tuomey in 2003, sat
down with us recently and told us what makes
the rehab team at Tuomey so special.
What are some of the outpatient rehab services that are offered at Tuomey Medical Park?
Our physical therapy team consists of
both licensed physical therapists and physi-
cal therapy assistants. Together they work
closely with patients following surgery, illness
or trauma to help them regain their normal
physical capacities and return to an improved
quality of life.
We have individualized rehab programs for
each of our patients. We have a broad range
of patients, so we try to make the best of a
sometimes bad situation. Rehab needs to be
fun, too!
LifeTimes Fall 2010 5
What about occupational therapy? Our focus is to teach and assist patients using exercise, adaptive
techniques and equipment to regain independence for work and self-
care. We use isotonic equipment for upper extremity strength tests and
general exercise, plus a wide range of exercises to help regain range of
motion and strength.
How do you choose the employees who come to work here?We are extremely selective. We turn job candidates down if they are
not the right fit for the department. They have to have an excellent set of
clinical skills, but they have to be customer-service oriented as well. It’s
all about the patient and the quality of care. We have the most diverse
team in the area, and our focus on the individual is what separates us
from the rest. We have a team of therapists who specialize in just about
every area.
Tell me about your sports medicine program.The sports medicine program at Tuomey is the most comprehensive
in the region. Our staff includes certified athletic trainers and physical
therapists, enabling us to work with a wide variety of orthopaedic and ac-
tivity-related injuries. Our goal with every patient is to help them reach
their optimal level of functional and athletic performance.
We work with both Thomas Sumter and Wilson Hall, and on Saturday
mornings we offer clinics for the football players to assess post-game
injuries. The clinic is staffed by an orthopaedic surgeon from Sumter
Orthopaedics, athletic trainers and a radiation tech so that we can take
X-rays. It’s a program that we are very proud of.
Are your services available to anyone? Anyone. You just need a referral from your family doctor, pain doc-
tor, neurologist, podiatrist or orthopaedic surgeon. We will assess the
situation and get you on the right treatment plan. We accept all types of
health insurance, and we’re here to serve the community. We work with
the sports teams from USC Sumter, we have a great golf fitness program,
and we’re the only rehab center in Sumter that has a pool. We really do
have something for almost everyone.
What sets Tuomey Rehab Services apart from the crowd? It’s the people. It will always be the people. That’s what keeps me
here. We do have a wonderful, large facility. We do have the best equip-
ment money can buy. But it’s the people who work here: they care about
the patients. They try to make rehab fun…or at least as fun as it can be.
The therapists love what they do – and it shows!

Tuomey Healthcare System is excit-
ed to announce that Jeff Faw has been
named the new executive director and
chief development officer for The Tuomey
Foundation. Faw spent the past two years
at Tuomey working as the director of Busi-
ness Development.
“This is such an exciting opportu-
nity for me,” said Faw, a native of
North Carolina. “This community
has been so good to me and my
family, and this will be a great way
for me to give something back.”
Prior to joining Tuomey, Faw
was the president of Sumter Cabi-
net Company for three years. He also
served as vice president of sales and
marketing for Sumter Cabinet, prior
to being named president in 2004.
“We are so fortunate to have some-
one of Jeff’s caliber leading the Foundation
for us,” said Tuomey President & CEO Jay
Cox. “He will bring a business background
to the Foundation as well as a heart for
giving back to his community. Jeff is a man
of integrity, and we are so fortunate to have
him in our Tuomey family.”
Faw, 50, earned a Bachelor of Science
degree from High Point University in
North Carolina, where he studied business,
economics and marketing. He is a member
of Trinity United Methodist Church and
serves on its board of trustees. He is also an
active member of the Kiwanis Club and is
the chair-elect for the YMCA board.
In addition, Faw is a member of the
Shaw AFB Honorary Wing Commander
Program and is a graduate of Leadership
Sumter, Class XXI.
“I am really looking forward to working
with the Foundation’s board of governors
and the Tuomey Fellows,” said Faw. “We
have such a strong foundation, and I want
to do my part to help it grow.”
The Tuomey Foundation was estab-
lished in October 1995 as the philanthropic
arm of Tuomey Healthcare System. It
was created for the purpose of enhancing
patient care within the walls of the hospi-
tal and providing support for programs
and services that extend Tuomey’s caring
reach into the community.
Through The Tuomey Foundation,
individuals, families, businesses and
other foundations can financially support
programs and services offered by the
hospital.
“There is such an opportunity to take
our foundation to even more people in the
community,” Faw said. “I have learned so
much as the director of business develop-
ment for Tuomey and I want to leverage all
of those relationships to help support the
Foundation.
“There are so many ways we can involve
members of the military, students from
our local colleges, and the many young
professionals in Sumter,” said Faw. “I want
everyone to be a part of our foundation,
because I know that working together, we
can do great things.”

“i cAre” is more than just a slogan – it’s the way we demonstrate
our core values, the way we connect with individual patients. For Tuomey employees, “I CARE” means working as a team, understanding that every single one of us impacts patient care, regardless of our department or position, and that each of us is responsible for patient satisfaction.
And it’s that spirit of teamwork that led to outstanding, unprecedented results on survey after survey this year, from the stringent Joint Commission accreditation inspection that looks at thousands of hospital standards to the general licensing survey conducted annually by the state, as well as unannounced department inspections by DHEC that analyze patient care in nearly every corner of the hospital.
ThE RESUlTS:• “zERO REcOMMEndATiOnS fOR iMPROvEMEnT”, an unheard-of
rating in the Food and Nutrition Department; the inspector said a perfect 100 in a food preparation and delivery operation as big and busy as ours was extraordinary.

• A “SPOTlESS” Home Health and Hospice review.

I CARE “These results don’t come without a lot of
hard work” noted Tuomey COO and Senior
Vice President Gregg Martin. “The ongoing
attention and diligence that produces such a
high standard of care and service is something
our patients deserve, but to pull it off survey
after survey is a remarkable feat!”
So what does all that
mean to the consumer?
The inspections combine to show that Tuomey
offers high quality, skilled care in a safe and
clean environment. But they also demonstrate
that every employee who was questioned or
whose work was monitored clearly gets the
message that “I CARE” sends: that we’re all
caregivers here, whether we provide direct
clinical support or complete one of the many
peripheral tasks that combine to impact the
patient.
Consider the employee who loads laundry
into the washers each day at 4:30 a.m., the
security officer who walks the premises in
the middle of the night, the transporter who
makes sure the patient gets to the proper room
for tests, the cafeteria worker who prepares
foods to meet each dietary restriction, the
buyer who orders equipment and makes sure
supplies are stocked, the electrician who gets
a new scanner up and running, the computer
tech who keeps the nurses’ stations digitally
connected.
“We are ALL here for the patients, and
every employee should be able to answer the
question: ‘What’s your contribution to patient
care?’” noted Cindy Ardis, Tuomey’s Quality
Services manager.
Pete Flanagan oversees Food and Nutrition
and other departments that impact infrastruc-
ture such as Environmental Services, Plant
Services, and Safety and Security. In each one,
he noted, the employees know that they “play
an important role in patient comfort, safety
and satisfaction.”
Leroy Hanni-
bal and Will
Williams are known as the “dynamic duo” of
Environmental Services. They’re the first ones
in the lobby every morning, and they start the
day by “making sure doormats are flat, floors
are dry, and no carpet tiles are loose.”
“We provide courtesy and hospitality,”
Hannibal said. “We give lots of directions,
sometimes escort people to their locations, we
even help people carry things from their cars.
We set the tone for the workday because we
greet people as they arrive to work and wish
others a good day as they leave.”
Lillie Isaac in Food Services says: “I treat
visitors – possibly the patients’ family mem-
bers – with respect when they come to the din-
ing room. I try to be sympathetic toward them
because of what they may be going through.”
Tomeka Oliver, who cleans rooms in the
ICU, has “very sick patients, so sick that their
immune systems are shot. I have to clean
everything – bed, chair, light switches – to
protect them from further illness. I feel really
good when I see patients recover and get to go
home, but sometimes, I know the ICU room
is their last home; the least I can do is keep it
clean and comfortable for them.”
“If you believe in what you do – and that you
can make a difference – you will have bet-
ter, safer outcomes,” Martin said. “So we try
to communicate the significance of what we
are all doing. There’s nothing like being part
of a group that makes sure that patients are
getting quality care, knowing that we all make
a difference to patients and families in our
community.”
Customer Service Manager Beth Fordham
says that our success with compliance and
quality is dependent upon how well the staff
connects with our stated values: “I CARE”
means acting with Integrity and Compassion,
being Accountable and Respectful, and striv-
ing every day for Excellence.
“That’s what impacts patient care,” Ford-
ham said. “It can also contribute to our great
quality scores, but how we treat our patients
individually – that level of service comes from
the heart!”

The diagnosis of a terminal illness is shocking; it is
devastating to the patient and everyone in the family. The
challenges that follow can be overwhelming, leaving you to
feel as though you’re drowning in a sea of emotional, physi-
cal, spiritual and financial chaos.
Tuomey Hospice can help you find the calm in that
storm.
Its mission is to provide soothing, compassionate care
to both the patient who has a life-limiting illness and to the
family who is struggling to care for them. A team of nurses,
aides, a social worker, a chaplain, and trained volunteers
can answer questions unique to each family and allay fears
unique to each patient.
“We don’t take over – we just help,” explains Deree Long,
hospice nurse liaison. “There are a lot of misconceptions
about end-of-life care and hospice. We can lend dignity
and strength to this confusing process.”
The Tuomey Hospice team believes that quality of life
is as important as length of life. Dying is a normal process;
hospice does not hasten death nor postpone it – it simply
offers relief from symptoms, gives the caregivers a chance
to be lovingly attentive, and helps them to make sense of
the process. The team focuses on keeping the patients as
free of pain as possible so that they can make the most of
the time that remains for them. The team also provides
emotional and spiritual support.
There are more than a dozen hospice organizations in
the tri-county area; most are part of a national chain. How
do you choose among them when you’re in the middle of
such a charged emotional event?
All hospices have to provide is a basic level of care to be
certified by Medicare. “What sets Tuomey Hospice apart
is that we go above and beyond,” said Kimberly Price, Tu-
omey Home Services clinical manager.
We offer greater access to our nurses, our aides and
social workers. We have a chaplain on staff, and trained
volunteers. And we provide services for survivors as well,
from our “Sail Into Hope” workshops for people adjusting
to a loss to the Hospice Memorial, which gives families a
chance to memorialize their loved ones.

“But the biggest factor is that we are local people wanting to
help local people,” Price said. “Our patients have access to lo-
cal respite care, local inpatient hospice, local wound care. We
support local businesses and use a local pharmacy and medical
equipment provider.”
“We live here,” she continued. “We are tied to this community.
This is our home; these are our friends and the parents and grand-
parents of our friends. We do a good job because we love this com-
munity and want to take care of our people.”
“It’s about integrity,” added Long. “We never promise you any-
thing we can’t deliver. We treat you like family.”
When it comes to high quality testing for vascular disease, Tuomey’s Cardiovascular Neurodiagnostic Department (CVND) is among the very best. The hospital’s CVND has always been committed to a high level of patient care; they recently received national accreditation to ensure that our patients receive the best care possible.
“During the accreditation process, every single aspect of the lab is assessed and reviewed,” said CVND Manager Dale Arnold. “It is a very extensive process, but it is a great way for us to make sure we are doing everything we can to take great care of our patients.”
Participation in the accreditation process demonstrates CVND’s attention to a high level of care and quality testing, according to the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Labs, which completes the accreditation process.
One American dies every 32 seconds due to cardiovascular dis-ease or disorders of the heart and blood vessels. Early detection of these life-threatening vascular diseases is possible through the use of non-invasive testing techniques performed within vascular labs, like the one at Tuomey.
“It is so important for us to make sure our patients are screened using the best protocols; this accreditation ensures that we always work in the best way possible,” Arnold said. “It is something that we are all very proud of.”

Tuomey Hospice is hoping to spread its wings in the next few years. In the works are plans to create a Palliative Care team and to build a Hospice House, a place that would provide compassionate care in a home-like setting for patients who are at the end of life.
The house would be for patients whose symp-toms can’t be controlled at home, those whose families can’t provide the 24-hour care needed, or those who don’t want to die at home. The Hospice House would also be used for respite care, watch-ing over a patient so his primary caregiver could get up to five days of much-needed rest.
“Supporting us helps us support our commu-nity,” added Price. “Inevitably, it’s going to be your family or someone you love who will need it. So support your local hospice and help us help you.”

The Twelfth Annual Tuomey Foundation Golf Classic was once again an enormous
success. What has become the most anticipated tournament in Sumter, proved to be an unforgettable
event. Twenty-eight teams began the morning with a shotgun start; the tournament culminated with
an awards luncheon featuring team and individual prizes.
The Tuomey Foundation would
like to thank the Tuomey Employee
Golf Committee for all of its hard work.
This committee is the core group that
organizes this event, and we appreciate
that these dedicated employees
volunteer their time on top of the
duties they perform day in and day out
at the hospital.
Their efforts have certainly paid
off as we netted close to $38,000 this
year for our Community Outreach
Endowment, a 31 percent increase
over last year. This fund allows the
Foundation to support programs and
causes outside of the hospital.
The Tuomey Foundation Golf
Classic has netted more than $400,000
since its inception. We look forward to
teeing it up once again next year, and
invite you to join us.

Class XI of the Tuomey Fellows began this fall
as 14 eager community leaders were selected to be
a part of one of the most talked-about programs in
Sumter. For 11 years, this program has offered an
“inside the tent” look at healthcare and, in particular,
all that Tuomey has to offer in the latest technology
and care for Sumter and its surrounding counties.
The Tuomey Fellows curriculum is eight months
long and highlights some of the areas of excellence
at our hospital. Participants meet with physicians;
learn about radiology, the cancer treatment center
and cardiology; and spend an evening in the ER. In
addition to this, they are able to observe a surgery
if they so choose. This always proves to be an
incredible educational experience.
The goal of the program is to create ambassadors
for Tuomey. This is a responsibility that graduates of
the program take very seriously. There are currently
163 individuals who have successfully completed the
program. These leaders have made a tremendous
impact on our hospital and are very much a part of
the Tuomey family.

The Employee Scholarship Fund was created in 2000 by employees who wanted to help Tuomey
families with their educational goals. Employees of Tuomey raised close to $100,000 to create this
scholarship. The Tuomey Foundation began awarding scholarships in 2003 to Tuomey employees,
immediate family members of Tuomey employees (as specified), and active volunteers of Tuomey
Healthcare System who have accumulated at least 250 hours of volunteer service, using the interest
earned on this fund. Including this year’s beneficiaries, to date we have awarded 32 scholarships
totaling $16,000. Scholarships are given based on academic performance and community service,
and can be awarded to students who have been accepted to a program or are currently enrolled in
courses of higher education.
Every year, a committee of employees volunteer their time to
select a few deserving recipients out of numerous applicants. On
August 5, the following individuals were each presented with a
$500 check and a certificate from The Tuomey Foundation:

It is not too late to sign up as a sponsor or decorator
for The Ninth Annual Festival of Trees! The Festival of
Trees has become a holiday tradition in our community
and continues to raise awareness for our Tuomey
Hospice Services. A steering committee, led by Dr. J.
Grady Locklear, has been working diligently all summer
preparing for the creation of this winter wonderland.
We are always blown away by the businesses and
individuals that come forward each year to ensure a
memorable event. Many of these businesses choose
to decorate their trees themselves, while others want
a decorator assigned to them. We look forward to once
again showcasing the most beautiful holiday trees in
town, sponsored by antique dealers, churches, local
businesses and schools.
Individuals can also purchase lights for the official
Circle of Lights tree that is on display atop the Wishing
Well as you enter the hospital. This tree will be lit on
Thursday, December 2, which will signify the beginning
of the Festival of Trees season.
If you would like to receive more information about
these or other activities taking place, please do not
hesitate to call our office at 774-9014 or visit our website
